787 1875-76
No. 135
Size -91 in. by 47 in.
Extent – 7 leaves, 18 lines to a page, 50 letters to a line.
Description - Country paper, Devanāgari characters, legible writing
and correct in the main. The Kārikās are given in the centre and the Avacūrņi on all the four sides of it. Complete. The Ms. comes from Bikaner.
Age - Not very old in appearance.
Author - Not mentioned. Subject - The Vibhramasūtras are the same 21 distichs which are
sometimes given as belonging to the Kātantra school and sometimes to Hemacandra's school. They must have been handed down long prior to the days of Hemacandra and the different commentaries on them are mere attempts to solve the riddles in the light of a particular system of grammar. That they existed before Hemacandra can be seen for instance from the fact that Gunacandra composed his commentary on them under the directions of Kakvala or Kakkala, a name which is quoted by Hemacandra in his Brhadvrtti.
